Pilot Lining for the wrong airport is outrageous . This was the plane's 3rd flight on the route in 3 hours .

Pilot is very experienced . He was instructor as well . He was looking for early retirement at 60 years . Limit is 65 .

Co-Pilot is widow of a pilot who died 15 years ago . She pursued aviation to move on her husband's step . . She had about 100 hours . It was her literal last flight as a copilot to cross the 100 hour mark.

A trailblazer, Anju was one of just six women employed by the airline as pilots, and had flown close to 6,400 hours.

"She was a full captain at the airline who had done solo flights," Sudarshan Bartaula from Yeti Airlines said. "She was a brave woman."
100 hours could be on the Type . Or Wrong reporting altogether as bbc does not report on this .
